I have noticed this over the last few weeks. Our Classic avatars have a ‘Wow Classic’ achievement bar next to your level and class under your name. Why have this unless Blizzard is planning on introducing the achievement system in Classic? I know some of you would love to see this but I for one would not like to see it implemented and I’m sure others agree. Anyone know why it is there???

I think an achievement system in classic WoW would be a welcome change.

Looks more like the forums got a quick mod to remove achievements. Simple. Unless you are looking for reasons to fear monger.
If that’s the case, the more convoluted the better.

wow classic achievements when blizz?
Much more likely it just wasn’t removed.
This isn’t vanilla, this is vanilla ported to the retail client and server.

No, it is merely to keep the functionality to share the BFA forums with Classic forums. Maybe in the future, they might add some logic to say if the character has the WoW Classic orange text to hide the 0 achievement number. They probably haven’t thought about it yet or it isn’t a priority for them. It’s probably really low on their list. They have other really annoying issues with the forums that they need to spend time on instead.

Its there because its a part of the basic system for the forums since waaaay back. They would have to take action to remove the code specifically for classic chars… Or they could just leave it saying 0 forever. You are overthinking this. Its literally always been there.

Looks like retailers are forcing Blizz to create a second retail from Classic.
I guarantee it’s a backend issue, a small data tag that is built in to a character the same way our realm tags are, that tells the cloud how to handle/display/sort us. The forums(and probably the in game cloud systems) would likely reject input from a character without an achievement score as bad or compromised data, so they took the path of least resistance: give us an achievement score, disable all in-client ways of looking at those, and have no flags to actually trigger an achievement.
Nothing to worry about.

Achievements were already on the forum long before classic. I don’t think there’s any need to panick.
these forums are a source of endless mirth.
Imagine being so panicked by this.

lol the best part is that some of the trolls have been hiding behind the fact that you’re classic avatar doesn’t show any other info but mousing over this achievement point link shows the server you’re on. Get ready to have lvl 1’s inspecting you in game lol
This right here. /Thread

yea for nerd points.
I’m not worried. I welcome achievements. Achievements were not why retail became shyte.
Maybe it’s just a template for the avatar graphic from retail, patched to show your toon is from WoW Classic and the achv points are just carry over? Idk
I am very concerned. Now people can tell I’m lying when I talk about my Naxx clears.
eeeeeeeeeeeh… I don’t know about you, but not seeing an Achievement System in Classic WoW is a welcome change for me.
